Duende Lab’s Post

What if your next big break started in a 'Seed Session' Standup? 🪴 I can’t stop thinking about all the game-changing ideas, products, and solutions that never see the light of day. Not because they weren’t good. Not because they didn’t have potential. But because they got stuck in paralysis by analysis. 🚫 Too much overthinking. 🚫 Too much perfecting. 🚫 Too much fear of "not being ready." What if we created space for ideas before they were fully formed? 💡 Enter 'Seed Sessions.' Every Wednesday, gather your team for a 15-minute stand-up where "half-baked" ideas get airtime. No pressure, no pitch decks—just a space to share, build, and spark creativity. Because ideas shouldn’t die in people’s heads. They should evolve, be challenged, and grow into something real. Would you try this in your organization? Why or why not? Let’s chat 👇🏼

Did you know that it’s National Conversation Week this week? One thing we know Instructors are really good at is talking! But what about the rest of us? So why not set yourself a challenge to have a conversation with someone different at work? Head down to the shop floor or maybe take your break with a different department. Talking is not only a great way to build connection but also to learn things you didn’t know that you didn’t know! www.rtitbacademy.com #NatConvWeek #LetsTalk

Listen. That's the whole post. Everything after is extra. And it all will make more sense when you watch the video. Last week was about being heard, moving in, and getting closer. This week, I'm taking a different approach. It's about YOU! This #EOWE (end-of-week expertise) is brought to you by the letter "L." This week, I'm trying something different - and I'm stealing from Steve from Blues Clues. I'm here to listen. I may not hear you through the video - but you can definitely tell me below. I'm proud of the work you do and how you keep trying. Keep moving forward. What are these posts all about? End-of-week expertise is an idea for everyone to share what they learned - something they have expertise in. I often share videos and images. I encourage everyone to share what they know. Try it out. #training #learninganddevelopment #instructionaldesign #people

This Week in MidJourney: Outtakes In the creative world, not every idea pans out as expected—but sometimes, the unexpected turns out to be exactly what we need, (other times, it's a sign to call it a day and head to bed.) This week, we took a playful detour from our usual thematic journey to embrace the absurdities that arise when you pursue an idea to its logical conclusion—and then gleefully sail right past it. Below, you'll find a small selection from the creative cul-de-sacs of our countless experiments each week. These are the 'what-ifs' and bizarre explorations that come about when you approach a theme from every conceivable angle, pursued simply for the fun of it and to see where we might end up. These happy accidents are more than just moments of laughter (though there’s plenty of that, too). They serve as reminders of the importance of staying curious, playful, and open, even when the path takes unexpected turns. They teach us resilience, show us new angles, and most importantly, keep the joy in the creative process burning bright. Do you engage in activities that take you out of your comfort zone, to play and explore, simply for the joy of creating? Share your stories, let us know your faves and join me, Peter Kuyt 🌳, Kees van Egmond and Daniel Lutz next week as we continue to explore the limits—and beyond—of our creative spirits. Peace out, and have a fab weekend! #MidJourney #CreativeExploration #Innovation #CreativeCommunity
